Audrey Winkler has been selected as the new Director of the
Nonprofit Sector Resource Institute, a branch of the Center for Public
Service at Seton Hall University. The mission of the Nonprofit Sector
Resource Institute is to build the capacity of the nonprofit sector in
New Jersey and nationally by utilizing the resources of the Seton Hall
community, working in collaboration with top experts in the field, other
nonprofits, corporations, foundations and NGOs.

Audrey Winkler, who has taught Financial Implications of Operations
Management at the Institute for several years, also serves as Adjunct
Professor of Political Science and Public Affairs at SHU. She has taught
graduate courses in Nonprofit Management, such as Managerial Decision
Making and Human Resource Management, since January 2002.

"Audrey Winkler, with more than 25 years of hands-on and consulting
experience, is recognized by leaders and boards of nonprofit
organizations, as well as Seton Hall colleagues, as an expert observer
and problem-solver who develops tailored solutions that allow her to
work with groups of diverse sectors. The executives of nonprofit groups
and corporations who seek training in stronger management and
streamlined operations will benefit from her leadership at the
Institute," said Dr. Naomi Wish, Director of the Center for Public
Service and Professor in the Political Science and Public Affairs
Department.

"Dynamic pressures of increased demand for services, reduction in
resources and preparing the next generation of leaders are pushing
nonprofit groups and affecting their sustainability. The NSRI will
continue to provide resources and is developing workshops and programs
that respond to the needs of a nonprofit sector undergoing widespread
change. I am very excited to lead the team at this juncture," said
Audrey Winkler.

Prior to establishing her consulting practice in January 2002,
Winkler served as Vice President of Operations and Real Estate at the
New Jersey Performing Arts Center and as Director of Operations at
Liberty Science Center. She received a M.S. in Urban Planning and Design

adults with learning and developmental disabilities to achieve their
full potential and to lead independent lives.
